Turf Valley developers want land included in public water, sewer

Turf Valley land owners are trying again. This time the Mangione family wantsroughly 70 acres in Ellicott City included in Howard?s public water and sewer system.

“It?s one of the places we are supposed to be growing; it?s part of the growth policy,” Department of Planning and Zoning Director Marsha McLaughlin said. But a similar measure to incorporate about 46 acres of that same land died in the County Council last fall amid health concerns over developing on former golf-course land.
